I Had the idea i wanted an Apple Pc  Desktop Found you can't buy one Only Laptops I don't like Laptops!

Did some searching & found a device (Made by Apple) that i thought i could Make a Desktop Out of, Thought about it, Finally ordered one.

Showed up 4 days later, Let it set for a day (Very Cold when i got it) Fired it up next day. IT talks, I can talk to it. Made an Apple ID.

Setup went well Until I had to give an Email address! Guess what I tried to type an @ for email address Surprise it types an  "  instead of an @.

That ended my setup. So i gave up & shut it down:(

Talked to people Searched problem, NOTHING!  Yesterday i tried again Clicked on everything on the computer, Then a picture of a Keyboard

turned up Looked it over noticed Key next to the L had an @ on it? no way Went back to setup IT Worked :)

Now i have a Working Apple Desktop.

A lot different than Windows.

Browser.

Still learning.

That's pretty cool.  We've always had PC's.  I don't think I've used an Apple computer of any kind since I was in elementry school...which takes us back to 1988 and thereabouts.  Being new to using a computer those were the days that using a word processor or playing educational games at school using those larger floppy disks were some of the fondest memories I've had.
